[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

For an I+N [10de:1340] system, proprietary video drivers (340 / 346) are available on stock 14.04.2 now.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

Correct, as long as the trusty-updates repository is enabled, both 340 and 346 will be available.

I recommend installing 346 (the system will upgrade to 340 from 331), since 340 is a legacy driver.

Tested again on 201408-15447 with 14.04.2 + update (3.16.0-57), this issue still exist, no driver available in additional drivers.

Wouldn't appear to be a linux kernel (enablement or not) issue. Please re-assign if the root cause is identified.
